1068

"Upon this sorrow grant ye / the little grace to me

That I his shining visage / yet once more may see."

So filled she was with anguish / and so long time she sought,

Perforce they must break open / the casket all so fairly wrought.

1069

Where she did see him lying / they then the lady led.

With hand full white and spotless / raised she his fair head;

Then kissed she there all lifeless / the good and noble knight—

And wept so that for sorrow / ran blood from out her eyes so bright.

1070

Mournful was the parting / that then did rend the twain.

Thence away they bore her, / nor might she walk again,

But in a swoon did senseless / the stately lady lie.

In sooth her winsome body / for sorrow sore was like to die.
